One of the countless narrow store alleys at the Waroros Market.

At Tha Phae Gate. See the guy with the white/green ball cap on the left? He was constantly kicking the metal bar, now under his right foot, each time successfully startling the pigeons to briefly take off and land again at the same spot a few seconds later. Photo op for the lingering tourists, bird feed also conveniently sold by the fellow in the blue jacket.

I wasn't the first one??

Looks like a dangerous place!

Reconstructed walls and a wide moat surround the old city core.

What lurks beneath…

… could be a fierce dragon waiting to be unleashed?

Original and ancient, unlike the city wall…

I bet you'll get a smoking room!

These fancy beverage vending machines offer pretty much everything: coffee, tea, smoothies, fruit drinks, sodas in every possible variation. The agony of choice 😂.
